HI Speedy.
There are many people who call themselves "Christians" and hide behind their religion or use it as crutch.
But there again I couldn't even limp into heaven without Jesus.. so maybe he is MY crutch

Going to church doesn't make you a Christain as going to McDonalds makes you a hamburger.
You can make a noise like an aeroplane... but it doesnt make you an aeroplane.
Ive seen what the power of God can do... Ive seen miracles... and I'm not afraid to say it.
Just take a look at society how its changing things...
Even in not just in US people now say " Happy Holidays" or Merry XMAS.
The Christ is being taken out of CHRISTmas.
Were I live in Norway... people are fighting have Christianity not taught in schools ( and we are meant to be a Christian country).
I personally believe in the bible and every word of it... no matter if I don't understand all of it.
If I start to change it and move things around to suit myself.... then my faith is worth nothing... because its based on that WORD.
God doesn't hate the "homosexual". he sent his Son to die for him or her. He created Adam and Eve... not Adam & Steve.
What he does hate is the act of "homosexuality". there is a big difference many Christians should do well to take note of that fact.
We seem to "grade" our sins according to what we think is extreme... but in Gods eyes there all the same.. there is no difference between lying or homosexuality.
I used to be a youth evangelist in the UK for quite a few years and could tell you all a few stories about the power of God.
Yes he is alive... and people can see him I hope in the way I live my life. Dont get me wrong.. "I'm not holier than thou"
I get it wrong every day...but I do know that I'm forgiven when I take those mistakes to the foot of the cross.
The devil ( yes there is one) does really try to make me feel guilty... but Jesus has kicked his ass BIG TIME and he knows it... so he tries to drag me down and others with him.
If anyone thinks I'm nuts or has any question please free to PM me.
God Bless.
